COMPOSITION
Write about any one (1) of the following:-
1. Suppose: If you had a chance to travel to some-
where for the Easter vacation, how would you
like to do so? Would it be by boat, plane or by
car? Why would you prefer that particular form
of transport? Mention these things as you
write an account that begins with the follow-
ing line: "Traveling to (You can name the place
where you are going) would be a treat and if I
had a choice, I would prefer to travel by (name
the form of transport that you would)..."
2. Many of you are probably hoping to participate in
some outside of school activities for the Easter
vacation. Write a letter to a relative, abroad, de-
scribing two (2) of the best things that you
hope to do during the present vacation period,
giving reasons why you think that they will be so
enjoyable.
3. Sometimes, we may do certain things that we
hope would be funny but which, unfortunately

happened to you? Write a story that ends with
the following line:- "...and so I was extremely
pleased to patch things up after this most disas-
trous experience"
